Quotations
Suffering
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.

The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.

The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
-Deep Trivedi
All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance.
-Arthur J. Russell
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
